Cid :3

Cid is hot

Is it Cidney or Cindy? I thought I remember hearing the English version was going to call her Cindy, which is dumb.

[jediyoshi]

Huh. I never realized before looking at direct feed shots the hair never had actual proper translucency.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Stamping that release date on there to nail home the same day release of the demo, I see. Only 4 weeks away!

 

[Perfo]

Downgrade confirmed.

That was obvious and expected to happen from the beginning. No way PS4 can run the original goodness with a decent framerate. Like for the witcher 3 something must be scaled down on these hardwares. Still it's quite beautiful.

 

[HeelPower]

Seems they've scaled back some of the detail.

No more dat grass.




Per-object motion blur is also conspicuously missing.

There is no need to jump to conclusions about downgradenations.

In your screenshot the grass isn't evenly distributed and in the distant background you can see that some patches are flat and practically grass-free.

 

[Dawg]

Every time I see Prompto, I see a Cloud Strife reject.

 

[jett]

I guess they scaled down a bit the visuals to reach 1080p.

At least for the moment, the game is far away and this isn't even on the final Luminous version.

Personally I'd rather have 900p with nicer visuals.

That's because the draw distance on the grass looks really bad, it's been like that since the first car trailer.

 

[Ran rp]

Something seems off about the LOD.

 

[Sub_Level]

If you have a picture of your characters walking in tandem towards the camera and you don't have an explosion behind them, then I'm sorry but you have failed artistically. The only exception is maybe Reservoir Dogs. Maybe.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

Please come to PC, please come to PC, please come to PC...

( For the record since some people are stick in the muds I already have the game on reserve for PS4... It was a joke. )

Spoiler

Modders, im waiting.

 

[shark sandwich]

These dudes look like they spend more time doing their hair than fighting monsters.

 

[Jigolo]

Please come to PC, please come to PC, please come to PC...

Spoiler

Modders, im waiting.

You're probably also waiting for a ban with all that port begging.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Slight downgrade in graphics. Maybe these were taken running from an Xbox One?

Spoiler

Man I hope it gets better towards release

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Is it Cidney or Cindy? I thought I remember hearing the English version was going to call her Cindy, which is dumb.

Honestly, if she's supposed to be this game's Cid, then I think it's fair to ignore the silly English version of the name. But if she isn't THE Cid of XV (I sure hope not, that character design is shit awful looking), then yeah we should be calling her Cindy, but until we know for sure she'll most likely be referred to as Cid by everyone.

 

[UrbanRats]

The game itself is still 50 years out, so...

Use Google images and your imagination, weirdo.

 

[teiresias]

This demo is making me really wonder if I should get Type-0 or Bloodborne next month. I can really only justify one at a time.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

Use Google images and your imagination, weirdo.

No sense of humor? :/

 

[threelights]

Downgrade talk will have to wait until a trailer after the demo though. No way they have achieved 1080/30 the way the game was.

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Is it me or they keep showing the same stuff over and over again and it really isn't looking good?

What's going with Square? It's making me sad.

 

[Ran rp]

It might just be a different area but it looks like the grass has been scaled back.

And the soles of Noctis' boots look like they're just flat textures now.

 

[RPGCrazied]

And isn't normal these days for games to first show off with very high end graphics and later on videos of it look not as great as before? Its not like SE is the first company that does this.

 

[Trickster]

Genuinely don't understand what people see in those screenshots. It's the same behemoth and barren enviroment we've seen a dozen times already.

 

[Dinda]

I would really like to get excited for this like you guys, but looking at that party i just can't. Hope they hurry and finish this already and start working on the next FF with the one thing that should never have been changed in a FF, a diverse party.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Is it Cidney or Cindy? I thought I remember hearing the English version was going to call her Cindy, which is dumb.

Well, according to Tabata(and his translator)

Our target for the full version is full-HD (30 fps), but it's difficult to realize that with the graphics and features we have in the game.
In terms of Episode Duscae...you'll find out if Cindy is this game's "Cid" by playing the demo!

 

[DieH@rd]

And the soles of Noctis' boots looks like they're just flat textures now.

There is no enough proof for that. Only bad camera angles.

 

[TomShoe]

Is this demo distributed via code with Type-0 , or is it tied to the game itself?

 

[Caronte]

Downgrade confirmed.

 

[The Last One]

It might just be a different area but it looks like the grass has been scaled back.

And the soles of Noctis' boots look like they're just flat textures now.

Huh? You're comparing 2 differents areas and two differents angles for the boots. Please, guys, stahp.

 

[shark sandwich]

And isn't normal these days for games to first show off with very high end graphics and later on videos of it look not as great as before? Its not like SE is the first company that does this.

Yeah that's very typical.

And the "but there's still time for them to improve the graphics before release!" excuse has never actually come true as far as I can remember.

 

[Philippo]

Man, people already on the downgrade talk?
The full game's more than a year away from release, even the engine is complete yet.
They probably just cut some graphical features (as well as gameplay ones like car and magic) to meet the deadline, but if the demo rubs well i'm definitely seeing them back for the full game.

Also barren lands? Come one it's a demo, and it's not luke everything has to be filled to the brim.

 

[cm osi]

ugh cidney hair

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Is it me or they keep showing the same stuff over and over again and it really isn't looking good?

What's going with Square? It's making me sad.

The screenshots are taken from the demo area we'll be playing in next month.

 

[mus6677]

Will the demo available for PSN version of Type-0?

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Is it me or they keep showing the same stuff over and over again and it really isn't looking good?

What's going with Square? It's making me sad.

It's the demo area.

 

[Dark_castle]

What's going with Square? It's making me sad.

In case you didn't know, all the trailers and footages from TGS until now have been largely focused on the demo of the game, demo, not the full game. There were only minor snippets here and there like the frosty train scene, Titan and such that are content beyond the demo.

Also the downgrade talk is kinda futile when it's been confirmed that the demo is running at an earlier build of the Luminous Engine compared to the final product, which is what, 1.5 years away?

 

[Dawg]

Looks good, but why are the fields so empty?

Good question. Not only do I not see a single chest anywhere, the map does not contain any watch towers or sync points. This worries me. I'm starting to wonder if this game even has enough collectibles to keep its players satisfied.

If you ask me, this game could learn a thing or two about open world development from Assassin's Creed.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Crystal Bearers would like to have a word!

Spoiler

It's probably saying "but....I..." and nobody cares.

Uhh... I didn't know that Thanks for correcting me.

 

[E-Cat]

Why is there grease on her cleavage?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Is it me or they keep showing the same stuff over and over again and it really isn't looking good?

What's going with Square? It's making me sad.

Why would they show anything else? If you want new footage outside from the demo wait until e3.

 

[jett]

Huh? You're comparing 2 differents areas and two differents angles for the boots. Please, guys, stahp.

It's too late, sole-gate is a go.

 

[kmax]

God damn, I've waited for this game for so long.

I need this to be good. Please Square.

 

[DieH@rd]

They have already confirmed that they will remove a lot of wildlife and stuff from the area that is covered in the demo. This demo area will look different in the full game.

 

[ShamePain]

Makes Witcher 3 look like a ps2 game.

 

[Kikujiro]

Yeah that's very typical.

And the "but there's still time for them to improve the graphics before release!" excuse has never actually come true as far as I can remember.

Infamous SS ended to be more impressive than the previews footage.

The demo of FFXV we're getting is showing an engine that is already far better than the "first" FFXV reveal at E3. They explained various times that they're still improving the engine, since they decided to rush the demo out some downgrades are expected.

I'm 100% sure the final game will look better.

 

[Smoothice65]

Not looking that hot graphically but who cares? It is an open world FF game. First one since FF12!

This, I have been waiting for a REAL sequel for FF12.
The wait has been to long. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

It's too late, sole-gate is a go.

Looks like one pic is in shadow or no direct sunlight, and the other is in the light with something to reflect to show it's detail.

Also people being upset about the guy wishing for a PC version, what's so wrong with it? It's not an exclusive, and square has been messing with porting ff games to PC lately, maybe to prep for this. This thread is showing new footage of the game, it's not titled PS4 information on FFXV Sony Sony PS4, or anything. Just ignore him if you don't want his post to derail the hype.
